Deadly Class #1

The cover of this 2015 Urban Comics edition sets a striking tone immediately — a group of sharply drawn teenagers surrounds a human skeleton laid out on the ground, their body language ranging from casual indifference to quiet menace, all rendered in a bold two-tone palette of electric blue and stark black and white. Rick Remender, Wes Craig, and Lee Loughridge bring a raw, atmospheric energy to Reagan Youth, the first collected volume of Deadly Class, and the cover alone signals something genuinely different: youth culture with a dangerous edge. If you're looking for a series that carries the spirit of 1980s alienation and translates it into something visceral and visually arresting, this is a compelling place to start.
